FIG. 2.

Effects of Laz on Toxoplasma adhesion to host cells. Toxoplasma tachyzoites were pretreated with 1.0 μM Laz or mock treated (control) for 1 h, washed, and allowed to infect HFF monolayers for 30 min. The adhesion/invasion assay was carried out as described previously (21), with black bars representing the number of parasites adhering to host cells and white bars representing the number of parasites that invaded host cells. Assays were performed in triplicate, with error bars denoting the standard deviation from the mean for the three replicates.
